7The Rift In The Lute: Attuning Poetry and PhilosophyOxford University Press. 2017.What is it for poetry to be serious and to be taken seriously? What is it to be open to poetry, exposed to its force, attuned to what it says and alive to what it does? These are important questions that call equally on poetry and philosophy.
